What I will not hide from you
Every project has weaknesses. An agent not mentioning them does not make them go away — it just means you find out after you have signed. Here is what is actually wrong with this one.
Some distance from Bukit Chagar RTS station (about a 10-minute drive or a transfer), so not a core RTS beneficiary
About 12 years old; some facilities are showing wear
High density across more than a thousand units; parking and lifts are congested at peak hours
What else is there around City Centre / RTS Line?
Within one area, big price gaps usually have reasons: tenure, age, density, management. Compare across first, then decide which to look at closely.
